Is has been two years since Elizabeth Sinclair,wife of charismatic entrepreneur Harry Sinclair was found drowned in the lake of the family's holiday park.
The police ruled out suspicious circumstances but Elizabeth's mother Sonia has always suspected her daughter was murdered and despite everyone saying that she is crazy is still determined to get justice for her for her daughter.
When Sonia discovers that Steph,a travel reviewer has been invited to cover the relaunch of the Sinclair's holiday resort Conmera,Sonia contacts Steph and asks her if whilst she was there she could try and discover something that would force the police to reopen the investigation.
After she gets to Conmera, Steph finds herself being pulled deeper and deeper into the secretive Sinclair family. But Steph knows she has to watch her back because she also has secrets, that if they were uncovered would blow her cover and possibly endanger her life.
After a heart pounding,chilling opening chapter,we are introduced to our main character and feisty heroine Steph who will be the predominant voice throughout this enthralling tale of secrets,manipulation,betrayals,infidelities and control. Occasionally the story slips back in time to two years previously where we are taken through the events that led up to Elizabeth's death. I wouldn't say that many of the vivid characters in this book were very likeable including Elizabeth. I couldn't help admiring Sophie's determination to find out the truth about her daughter's death and Steph's determination to uncover what really happened. I also had a lot of sympathy for one of the Sinclair brothers who found himself trapped and manipulated when all he wanted to do was get away as swiftly as possible.The isolated location and the behaviour of one of the brothers added to the creepy feeling of menace and the sense of foreboding and tension intensifies as the story unfolded
As readers have come to expect whilst reading a book written by Sue Fortin,this is a very well written mystery/thriller with a dash of humour and a sprinkling of romance. The twists and turns keep the reader guessing and frantically turning the pages. I love this author's books and The Dead Wife is no exception. Very highly recommended.
